A medical device company delivers proactive and insight-driven customer experiences with Zoho CRM

"We lacked a single system that could handle both our sales and service processes," says Thomas John, Managing Director of Agappe Diagnostics. "Data was distributed across multiple systems, and that made it impossible to get insights on the business."

Agappe wanted a solution that was not only flexible to its needs and scalable, but which also provided customers with the best experience possible. "For this," John adds, "we needed a technology partner that could understand the nuances of our domain and our internal processes well. Zoho CRM offers us technology that allows us to be more proactive and insights-driven, with all our information in a single place. With our complete business under control, our productivity is up by 80% in the last year that we have been using Zoho."
